How could I create a wall vinyl?

Wall vinyls are massive vinyl stickers suitable to stick on your house walls.
I have a white bedroom, and the walls are looking a bit blank.
With my love of tea I thought something like this
might look cool and suit my personality.
Anyone know how this might be possible?

sponges, and thick cardboard tubes, and light brown paint
This company will print your own design for you.
I had a vinyl wall mural installed in a house once, and it completely transformed the look of the room. But, if you do not want a giant photo on your wall, see if you can buy the unprinted mural material and just put up a blank wall, suitable to be your ongoing canvas.
Getting a good installation is a bit tricky, requires sanding the wall several times to get it very smooth, then getting the large sheet of vinyl up without wrinkles. I hired a pro and he was worth every dime. Don’t remember the cost, but it was not bad at all.
Do you want to install a vinyl or paint your own? I’m thinking painting would be easier than applying a vinyl.
tyrantxseries was on spot with the tubes, I would make them various sizes. The splatter with a thick bristled brush or stand back and use your finger to flick it. A spritz bottle held close would work too. The sponge for splotchy accents.
Thin your paint down to a runny consistency.
Check out blik.
We ordered one of their designs for our office at work and it made the room look awesome.
I thought the design was great. But do you want it huge – like, that design would dominate a whole wall – or repeated? I know you can do this with paint (at least, I could). If you don’t feel confident about that, go to the nearest art school and hire a student whose work includes these kinds of marks.
Blik’s designs are wonderful. I couldn’t find their custom capability on their site though.
You can design your own and have your local printing shop or signage shop print it for you.
@syz where does it say I can do custom designs?
